Porte Ponderings:
Not only is is St. Patrick’s Day, but is the anniversary of my first day of work at Canada Post in 1980.
I’ve been retired for 13 years. I’m very thankful for all the people I worked with and met during my working years. I’m also very thankful for my pension. There were times when I resented the money taken off my paycheck each month. But now when the money is deposited into my account I’m glad it wasn’t a choice as the return each month is much greater than the monthly payments 😉
The weather this year is much nicer than that first day of work. There was a terrible ice storm. I had to drive across London to return to our first apartment on Berkshire Drive. I don’t miss the commute to work.
I’ve already purchased my Provincial Park Pass for the year.

Porte Ponderings:
I think I’ll spend Thinking Day Thinking. Pondering the possibilities. Perusing the photo’s I’ve taken.
No, actually I’m spending a couple of hours training to work in the upcoming Provincial Election. I’m looking forward to a little extra cash from helping with the election 😉
Tomorrow is the 2nd Sunday of Lent in the Christian Calendar: Peace
Today is the 3rd day of Hanukkah. As the third candle is being lit the bombing of Gaza continues. Hostages from Israel may be among the dead in Gaza as Israel threatens to flood all tunnels with sea water. When will the killing stop?
Genocide is Genocide.
“The Ministry of Health in Gaza has said that 17,177 people – including 7,112 children – have been killed and 46,000 wounded since the Israeli-Palestinian conflict started on October 7.
In the occupied West Bank, the death toll stood at 266, with 3,365 wounded.
The Israeli army said that 1,147 people have died, including 418 soldiers.”
